Not-So-Perfect Pintuck Poet Shirt
If you are looking at this shirt thinking it will be just like the long sleeve version in the catalog from 2 years ago you should be warned it is not. It is not even the same quality as the long sleeve one from this past winter. The quality in these shirts have gone way downhill. I have a couple long sleeve from 2 years ago that I still absolutely love. They are well made, sized perfectly and very good quality material. I also have a couple from last year a little cheaper made and not sized as well but still nice enough to keep as long as you dry them on a hanger. These short sleeve ones are cheaply made for a $49 blouse and made at least a size smaller than what is stated. I'm getting ready to return 2 mediums right now and don't know if I will reorder large or not. It's not fair of them to make us think WE are getting larger when the truth is we are getting less quality for our money. I can usually count on TravelSmith to make me happy but that's not going to happen with this shirt.

Sizing
These shirts are of very good quality and well made. My only complaint is that there is a REALLY big difference between the size medium and the large I bought the larges which seemed kind of loose and "blousy" but the medium would barely button across the bust I ended up keeping the larges in aqua and navy.

Short sleeved perfect Pintuck Poet Shirt
I ordered one last year and loved it.
So glad they brought the shirt back, but it is not as full as the one last year and it is about 1" shorter.
I still love it.

Stiff Fabric
I ordered two of these tops, hoping to wear them with skirts I have. While the shirt fit me in the shoulders, the material didn't have any give or stretch to it, so when I moved my arms forward the shirt was very tight around my back. I found the material to be very stiff. If it had a little stretch to it, it may have been much better. I really wanted these tops to work, but I'm returning them.

runs small
I already have this shirt in several colors, all size medium, purchased several years ago. I just bought another in size medium. Never occurred to me that they might run small. I ironed it and put it in the closet. Did not return because it was ironed. Bought another in large. It fits, but not loose. I will not be buying any more.

Not a change for the better.
Bought 2 of these last year and wear them constantly. This years version is much smaller and shorter. Very tight across the shoulders and the shoulder seams were off by over an inch (I looked lopsided!). Pintucks were also not equal on each side. Very disappointed and shipped it back. The color was lovely, but poor quality control on this one.

New short sleeve style
I have several old style. They were a little snug in the shoulders but otherwise fine. This new style is tight across the bustling and shorter and not as much material for a nice flow around the hip area. I was very disappointed as other then the old style material balling up after a few washes, they are fine. The shoulders were a little snug as all comments from others indicated but fine otherwise. This new shirt is not even close to the same fit and I wear the same size as I always did. I would not recommend this product to anyone
